Hawaiians

There is a tropical atmosphere...although it is far away Because there is warmth of feeling - that will never decay. The one is of termperature...and in the Southern Seas The other is here with us today - and has more meaning for me. The islands out in the Pacific...have a beauty about each one The ones that are here today - are far more beautiful than all of them. The Islands are a home to many...and visitors are never few But the islands that I think about - are always coming back to you. God place Hawaii...as a physical paradise God plaed all of you here in our family - to help each other thru life. I have been to the islands of Hawaii...and may go back again, sometime But I will never have enough of my family - to help to share this rhyme. For I have learned that Family...though we seldom meet Are the islands in my life - that I will always need. So, I thank God for each one of you...and pray for you each day Because I love each one of you islands - and that's all I have to say! (Written to honor my family at our reunion this month)

Bravo, Daniel! Insightful comparison of family members to "islands in my life." I hope you share this with all your family members at the reunion and that they appreciate the depth and love in this poem as much as I did. Love, Carolyn
